Welcome to the Cicadas here in Tsukuba ...

[lorax]

It's wonderful, the pulse of the natural world. Here in West Texas, we mark the seasons with the arrival and departure of"our" vultures from their winter home in Mexico. They gather in our tall trees at night and we laugh that they come and go from Mexico without documents or papers. A reminder of the natureal link between our two countries that must not be obscured by a wall or physical barrier.

We don't have cicadas in the UK but my wife came running into the living room yesterday to find the source of what she thought was a loud hissing noise. It was me watching the rakusu videos with Taigu and the sound of the cicadas coming through the laptop speakers!
